Nita, I had no idea you collected buttons too!
 
OH MY!!!! I cant believe what I got it was so perfect, and I could have bought myself a better christmas present!!! Thank you so much Jacks' Thunder for all of the wonderful things, it was opened within an hour of recieving it from the post office. The girls at work said that the sign had me written all over it but they dont realize that it fits all mini owners perfectly haha. The ornament will be awesome for our western themed christmas tree and will be on it tonight, I cant wait to try the dyes on my horses and I have to ask you if you could let me know where I can get them as I have never seen them up here in Canada and they are exactly what I was thinking of!!! The horses will definately be playing with the mini jolly ball and I feed them the apple wafers all the time and I cant get them to leave me alone when they find out that I have them so I can wait to see how much they love the new flavors of peppermint and carrot and spice, I will be putting a picture on the forum as soon as I figure out how to so that everybody can see how beautiful everthing is. thank you so much. Also a big thank you to REO for putting on this wonderful event I will be participating every year from now on and thanks to everybody for making my first forum year such a great one, I look forward to next year shopping even more as now I kind of know what to get and will have lots of time to collect little things along the way for 2011. Also I havent heard from my SS partner so it should be there in the next day or maybe 2. hope you like it.

No problem on the "could/couldn't" part!

I'm very glad you liked everything! There were also star stencels in the bottom of the wrapped box! Hope you found them!! Like I said in my note the llama down the street STILL looks like a Giraffe and the "Zebra" mini really made me double take! I had to stop and find out how they did it as soon as I knew you wanted paints!

Have a VERY Merry Christmas!

Now I can rest easy knowing it made it to you safe and sound!! The lady at the post office was looking at the customs form kinda laughing. I asked her( I know her well!) what was so funny. She said I have to ask you what is a Jolly Ball? I said if it made you smile when you read it's name it's doing it's job!! I also told her it was a horse toy and she laughed and said you know the people in the customs office are going to open it just to see what a Jolly Ball is! I told her I didn't care as long as it made it to you safe and sound!! LOL!
 
Hi Leya, I did get the stencils, they are perfect and a great idea!!!, I tucked them behind the sign in the picture but I must have cut it out so that the microscope and centrifuge werent in the picture to ruin all the pretty things, I got the box and raced back to the vet clinic to open it and when i did I just had to post a picture so I found a little corner of counter at the clinic and took a picture I just took the red tissue paper that was in the box and set up a little stand lol. Thanks again for the gift and for the info on the paints.
 
I received my SS gift in the mail today! THANK YOU SO VERY, VERY MUCH Kathryn (Anoki)!!! I always look forward to receiving a nice horse calendar from someone for Christmas, so I never buy one myself, unless I need to. I am happy to say that thanks to you, I won't have to buy my own!

I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the 2 leather cushions!! They are PERFECT and I almost started to cry as soon as I saw the Boston Terrier one, wishing I had my little Molly back again. Her loss has been a tough one, so the cushion is extra special, and you KNOW how I love Boxers too, so I am sooooo tickled with both! AWESOME! THANK YOU!!!! With the recent loss of my Mom on November 23, I really needed a little cheer, and your beautiful and thoughtful gift provided me with just that! THANK YOU and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Thank you soooo much Peggy, Alba Hurst miniatures! Of course I remember you from Pinto World! Had such a great time there. Hope to go again in 2012!(Too far and expensive to go more often I'm afraid!). I always ask for things that are local to my Secret Santa's area. Peggy sent me a really cool picture frame that was made out of Kansas Limestone! As you can see I already put a picture in it...in fact Peggy it's the horse I was holding in line behind you at the blood draw station. He's all grown up now and jumping and started driving.

There's not quite as many taffy's in the picture because my husband literally pounced on them as I opened the package! Thanks again and hope to see you again one day.

:yeah My S.S. gift arrived today, didn't have time to post until now. Thank you so very much for everything Kathy aka yellowroseintx. Everything was just wonderful and will be or already is put to good use. The dolphin and horse ornaments are decorating the tree area. The door bell hanger was placed immediately on the door. And love the saddle and breast collar pads can't wait to try them out on my boy jet. The vet wrap will come in handy as well hoping not to have to use it often though lol. The chocolate looks yummy. The sign will have a prominent place as it should at the barn where we spend most of our time. Thanks again Kathy you outdid yourself.

I've been to the post office this morning. My Secret Santa gift is on it's way. Should be there by Thursday. Please open it when you receive it. There are some things in it that you should enjoy before Christmas.

Of course if I wasn't in such a panic about puppies on the way, they would have had tags on them so you knew....*sigh* I know better than to plan puppies at this time of year!

So glad you liked them! It is always fun coming up with different ideas to make!
